Inhale

[Intro - Female, soft]
[breathy][slow]
I… I forget my name when you stare
(oh) the air gets thin in here

[Intro - Male, smooth]
[low][warm]
Yeah… I play it cool but I’m not prepared
My heartbeat loud in my ears

[Verse 1 - Female]
[sensual][controlled]
You pull me close, I lose my pace
My strong facade just fades away
I try to stand, but then you shake
Every promise I tried to make

[Verse 1 - Male]
[soulful][conflicted]
I tell myself don’t fall too fast
Don’t let this moment be my last
But when you move, I feel that crash
Weak knees, I’m gone just like that

[Pre-Chorus - Duet]
[building][harmonies]
We know this fire can burn
We know how fast it turns
But still we’re drawn, we don’t learn
(no, we don’t learn)

[Chorus - Duet]
[catchy][repetitive][lush harmonies]
Inhale… breathe deep, don’t lose control
Inhale… don’t forget your soul
When love makes you feel, makes you shake
Stand strong, even with weak knees

Inhale… breathe deep, don’t drift away
Inhale… gotta find your way
When love gets too real, too strong to fake
Hold on through the weak knees

[Ad-libs: (breathe…)(don’t let go)(stay strong)]

[Verse 2 - Male]
[smooth][vulnerable]
I act like I don’t need the touch
But truth is I might need too much
You’re in my mind, it’s way too much
I’m losing ground, I’m out of luck

[Verse 2 - Female]
[emotional][restrained]
I tell my heart to slow it down
Don’t let your world just spin around
But when you’re near, I almost drown
Still I don’t make a sound

[Pre-Chorus - Duet]
[soft build]
We hide what we both feel
Pretend it isn’t real
But silence won’t conceal
(no, it won’t conceal)

[Chorus - Duet]
[full][hook-driven]
Inhale… breathe deep, don’t lose control
Inhale… don’t forget your soul
When love makes you feel, makes you shake
Stand strong, even with weak knees

Inhale… breathe deep, don’t drift away
Inhale… gotta find your way
When love gets too real, too strong to fake
Hold on through the weak knees

[Bridge - Duet, call & response]
[intimate][echoes]
(Female) Do you feel it too?
(Male) Every time I’m close to you
(Female) Do you lose your air?
(Male) Every time you stare

(Together)
We’re thinking the same… but we never say
We’re holding our breath… giving love away

[Break - whisper ad-libs]
[Female: inhale… inhale…]
[Male: breathe deep… stay strong…]

[Final Chorus - Duet, layered]
[big][emotional peak]
Inhale… breathe deep, don’t lose control
Inhale… don’t forget your soul
When love makes you feel, makes you shake
Stand strong, even with weak knees

Inhale… breathe deep, don’t drift away
Inhale… gotta find your way
When love gets too real, too strong to fake
Hold on through the weak knees

[Outro - soft fade]
[Female: breathe deep…]
[Male: stay strong…]
[Together: inhale…]
